Making oxygen

[dogscoff]

Yeah, I went for the triple-Molly once in a devnullmod vsAI game. I built them all pretty much simultaneously, and I think I finished all three. At least two, anyway.

My CO2 race had several ringworlds of their own in other systems, so I made this system my zoo/ museum=-) : the ringworlds were exclusively defended by inferior alien ships & units taken from trades, crew insurrections and planetary invasions. I had oxygen races on one ringworld, hydrogen on another and methane on the third, although the atmos converters never had time to finish their jobs before I had to patch and lost the game=-(

Oh, and I had previously built the system's asteroid field into a large atmos-none planet, which was a convenient home for my captured Space monster and United Flora (both atmos none) populations. I dubbed it "monster island"=-)

The oxy ringworld in that system was the inspiration for the rather crappy "texrak tale" on my story page.

Personally I think the ultimate prize (other than a sphereworld full of Proportions mod colonial cultural centres=-) would be to have a sphere/ ringworld of your own atmosphere, with a huge planet for each of the other atmospheres, all in the same *sector*.

To do this you'd have to build a ringworld, then destroy it to create an asteroid field which can be converted into a huge planet. Then you create a sun in the same location, rinse and repeat until you have enough huge planets, and then build the final sphere/ ringworld.

Now *that* would be impressive. For now I think i'm going to try to get a ringworld in Proportions. That will be challenge enough.
